Premier League 2018/19

[SugarRay]

Another dive from the cheat. Goes unpunished...

I will never wish injury on any player...

 

[TheChosenOne]

Definitely a draw for me.

With 2 red cards per team

 

[THX2208]

The one bright spark from a pretty horrible day of football. I'd rather walk alone

 

[mark87]

So what do we want later? A draw or Chelsea win?

Draw. Followed by a carpet bomb.

At some point, diving will begin to be eradicated. When that is, i dont know. But it will.

 

[The Long Suffering One]

Sour grapes. Good teams make their own luck.

You call that Speroni gaffe luck? It was easier to catch or punch it than doing what he did.

 

[ardiles]

So what do we want later? A draw or Chelsea win?

Anything but a Chelsea win. Preferably a draw .

 

[JCRD]

So what do we want later? A draw or Chelsea win?

We win all our games and we will finish atleast third... so dont care about that game

Yep: would prefer a draw but could live with a Chelsea win.

 

[SpursDave88]

Draw or Chelsea win I think!

 

[allatsea]

Do Chelsea not get injuries ?

 

[spursfan77]

Watching the BT sport programme and Andy Cole winds me right up for some reason. I just can’t stand the guy.

I doubt it. Only if the authorities crack down on it real hard and start dishing out 10 game suspensions, yet how can you ever prove if someone meant to dive or not? Sure, we can see it but the player could just deny it then appeal it stating that they lost balance etc.

Unless you had players wearing sensors to confirm contact but that would be taking it much further away from the natural game.

It’s only football mate. You know that better than most here for sure!

Sit back and enjoy Arsenal getting demolished!!!

I can never bring myself to want Arsenal to win. I’m certainly not about to start in this current situation. Keep the goons well away from the top 4 race. We can hold off United and Chelsea

Never. It’s getting worse. There’s more chance of the game becoming non-contact than the antics coming from cheats like Salah becoming eradicated.

I don’t think it’s getting worse at all. I’d say I s marginally better than 10 years ago.

Feel free to stay pristine. I, on the other hand, hope and expect another player to properly adjudicate such matters on the field if the ref is not going to do his job. If a player likes going to ground then you help him out and get your money's worth.

For a typical player making an 'honest' play, yes, injury sucks. For a player trying to con a decision a hard/nasty tackle is justice. Turnabout is fair play.

It's going to get worse IMO, watch any youth football game at grassroots.

Neither does Teddy Sheringham so there may be something in that.

 

[SE Spurs]

My god, it makes your eyes fckn sore. Is there anything more rancid on a football pitch than 22 chavs and goons? I think not.
